SciComm
Here are some recent science communication (SciComm) highlights from our research team!
Warming spring temperatures and invasive shrubs may be changing how our forest floors look in the spring. Read about our research “Studying the future forest health at Barking Slopes” in the Allegheny Land Trust VISTA newsletter.
Want to know more about the intersection of invasive species and haute cuisine? Listen to an interview with Gastropod hosts about the promise and peril of managing invasive species by eating them.
